Well the match is definitely in Dublin anyway cos that's where the Dutch team are basing themselves;). We can't be sending them on any form of the Irish transport system now:eek:, the poor fella's:D.

Any idea where they are to stay. If we had an idea of whether it was Northside or Southside, a venue near where they are staying would probably be handy. However, if a social :eek: event was to be linked to the game would a venue with a bar/function room be suitable.

I suppose that (some of) our squad, manager (a long haul home to South Down!!), physio and backroom team might need a place to stay. So perhaps everybody could stay in the same place

Personally I was banking on a reasonably-ish priced hotel(preferably with a good bar) :)

Where's the 4th Official, Chris?

Did I see that Aisling Looney was an assistant for the WFAI Cup Final?
Perhaps she could be roped in for the day???

I trawled the thread yesterday and got the following :

Post 228 said that they had booked hostels in the city centre
Post 262 said that they were staying in the city centre
Post 287 said that they would prefer to play late on Saturday evening
Post 306 asked where the match was to be played
Post 650 said that they had booked their flights

So BGF it looks like they are serious about coming :eek:

I was thinking of Sportslink in Santry or ALSAA (Aer Lingus Sports) complex near the airport. The advantages of both of these is that they have good pitches, good changing facilities (showers etc..) and good medical facilities for the physio :rolleyes:

In addition they have function rooms which could be used for a pi$$ up afterwards (avoids having to go elsewhere and break up the atmosphere). It's close to the airport, the M50 and there is a travelodge hotel in Swords, not far from either venue and close to the airport which do rooms from around €69 :D a night - this could be handy for the exiles or country cousins travelling. There is also a new Tulip hotel nearby which has recently opened.

it ever being broken and have now also lost all my previous
